Preparation Steps

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour a bundt pan.
• Place the cake mix, 3 ounces cream cheese, 1 cup milk, eggs, 2 Tablespoons lemon zest, and 0.25 cup lemon juice into a large mixing bowl. Combine with an electric mixer on low speed for about one minute, scraping down the sides as needed.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared bundt pan and smooth it evenly.
• Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Cool in the baking pan for 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack or plate to cool completely.
• Prepare the frosting by creaming the 5 ounces of cream cheese and 1 teaspoon lemon zest together until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, 2 Tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 Tablespoon milk, mixing until well combined.
• Drizzle or spread the frosting over the cooled cake before serving.
